However, just 38 hours on the show, Chloe dramatically exited the show, telling the DS team that she had "had enough" while walking up a steep hill.
Handing in her armband to VW (voluntarily withdraw), Chloe was joined by fellow Islander Tasha Ghouri, who claimed she "wasn't mentally there" to take on the challenge and has refused to acknowledge the show since.
Speaking on her podcast, Chloe Vs. The World today, Chloe defended herself from online critics but admitted she was "violently under-prepared" to take on such a gruelling show.

"I left. I quit, because guess what, guys, it's f**king hell," she declared. "It's hell, no one ever do it.
"I don't even know why I did… well I know why I did it. I've loved that show for years, me and my dad used to watch it going up, and obviously they said, 'Do you want this opportunity? And I was like, Hell's f**king yeah, I will smash it'.
"I thought I'd be quite good. I spoke to, I think Pete Wicks, and he was like, 'it's not even that bad'. Pete, you're a liar."
Admitting she had worn herself too thin ahead of going to the show – doing an eight-day stint in Ibiza before filming Sidemen's Inside show for Netflix – Chloe revealed she had been clubbing until the early hours of the morning on the day she left to take part on Celeb SAS.

On the moment she quit, Chloe said: "I think I said, 'all I need is my bed and a vape', and I that I did need. So that was the end of that.
"It was like 30 hours of hell. I don't know how they did it. Honestly, and it's really hard to be in a good mood when you're like, cold, tired, wet, hungry, knowing you're gonna do something awful.
"I just didn't have it in me. I was in hell. I wanted to cry, and I've never been happier than when I did the seven hour drive back."

Despite exiting the show early, Chloe responded to a string of comments about her stint – and smiled as she confirmed she did still get paid her full fee for participating.
"Does she still get paid? Yes, I did," she admitted. "At the end of the day, I see all the hate comments, I knew I was gonna get it, but no one can be like, harder on me than myself.

"I was devastated. If I was to do it again, I would… I knew I wasn't prepared, I should have pulled out, but then, we didn't know if they were doing another season.
"It's a show I've loved and I've wanted to do for years, why would I not take that opportunity? I just wanted to live it. I was just very violently unprepared."

Who is Noel Clarke?
He studied media and took classes at London's Actors Centre before making his debut in the 1999 Channel 4 TV series Metrosexuality. In 2003, he won the Most Promising Performer award at the Olivier Awards for his performance in Where Do We Live at the Royal Court Theatre, and then significantly widened his fan base by playing Billie Piper's boyfriend, Mickey Smith, in Doctor Who. He also gained fame as Wyman Norris in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, before later writing and starring in the acclaimed film trilogy Kidulthood, Adulthood and Brotherhood, directing two of them. He co-founded his own production company, Unstoppable Entertainment, in 2007, which has produced films including Jessica Hynes's directorial debut, The Fight, and 10×10, directed by Suzi Ewing and starring Luke Evans and Kelly Reilly. He then won the Bafta rising star award in 2009, crediting the award for his long career. In 2015, Clarke's former friend Adam Deacon was given a restraining order following hundreds of abusive posts aimed at Clarke on Instagram and Twitter, after a row over the title of Deacon's hit 2011 film Anuvahood. In 2018, Unstoppable Entertainment joined forces with All3Media and launched Unstoppable Film and Television to expand their remit to include television, which led to the launch of Sky One drama Bulletproof, in which he starred prior to the allegations coming to light. Bafta then awarded him the outstanding British contribution to cinema prize in April 2021, but this and Clarke's membership of the academy were suspended after the allegations against him were published by the Guardian. Clarke dropped legal action against the academy in 2022, but launched a libel claim against Guardian News & Media (GNM) the same year. During the High Court trial earlier this year, Clarke appeared visibly emotional as he claimed the publisher had 'smashed my life'. He said: 'They have smashed my life for four years with this rubbish, this nonsense. Four years.' He continued: 'I did not do this, I would not do this. I have got children. This is not true.' He later said that while he was 'a flawed guy', he added: 'The reason I stand here four years later is I am not what they have branded me.'
